Safeguarding Medicaid ActThis bill requires states and territories to implement asset verification programs to determine an individual's Medicaid eligibility. Currently, states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are required to have asset verification programs to determine an individual's eligibility for Medicaid if the individual is age 65 or older, blind, or disabled. The bill applies this requirement to all states and territories and to all individuals seeking Medicaid eligibility. The bill also requires state Medicaid programs to implement resource tests to determine an individual's Medicaid eligibility (currently, such tests are prohibited except for those age 65 or older or who are blind or disabled). The resource test must conform with the resource test for determining an individual's eligibility for Supplemental Security Income, unless the state specifies a different threshold.The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must create a system to track any federal savings due to implementation of the required asset verification programs. States that do not comply with federal requirements regarding Medicaid eligibility determinations must submit corrective action plans to the CMS.

Preserve Access to Affordable Generics and Biosimilars ActThis bill prohibits parties from entering into any agreement that resolves or settles a patent claim related to the sale of a drug or biological product and that has anticompetitive effects. Such an agreement is presumed to have anticompetitive effects if the filer of a generic drug or biosimilar application receives anything of value and agrees to limit or forego research, development, manufacturing, marketing, or sales of the generic drug or biosimilar.An agreement is exempt if the only consideration granted to the generic manufacturer is (1) the right to market and secure final approval for its product prior to the expiration of any statutory exclusivity, (2) a payment for reasonable litigation expenses, or (3) a covenant not to sue on any claim that the generic drug or biosimilar infringes a U.S. patent. An agreement is also exempt if the agreement's pro-competitive benefits outweigh the anticompetitive effects.The bill provides for enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Violators are subject to penalties including the forfeiture of the 180-day marketing exclusivity period for a generic drug.Additionally, when a generic or biosimilar drug manufacturer enters into an agreement with another drug manufacturer related to the manufacturing, marketing, or sale of a drug, the manufacturers must certify that the material they have given the FTC and the Department of Justice concerning the agreement contains the complete agreement and any related agreements, including descriptions of any oral agreements or representations.
